Tampa Bay

United States · Florida

Tampa Bay is the large natural harbor of Florida's Gulf Coast, on which Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Clearwater sit. A shallow estuary of mangroves and manatees, it shaped the region's history. Cruising its waters passes the Sunshine Skyway Bridge's famous span, the port of Tampa's terminals, the bay's islands and wildlife refuges, and views of the city skylines where Spanish explorers landed centuries ago.
